(4) The one is the means of healing the wounded head of the other, and of restoring its authority.
FIRST BEAST.
One of his heads is, as it were, wounded to death: a wound that would be mortal if it were not healed, ver. 3.
SECOND BEAST.
Has power to heal the wound of the first beast, ver. 12; for it is manifest that the healing comes from some influence of the second beast.
(5) The one restores life to the other when dying.
FIRST BEAST.
Is wounded, ver. 3, and his power manifestly becomes exhausted.
SECOND BEAST.
Causes an “image” of the first beast—something that should resemble that, or be the same power revived, to be made, and to be worshipped, ver. 15.
